When feeling the pinch, nuclei instigate cells to escape crowded spaces – Phys.org
The threat of serious deformation triggers a rapid escape reflex that enables cells to move away and squeeze out from tight spaces or crowded tissues.
The threat of serious deformation triggers a rapid escape reflex that enables cells to move away and squeeze out from tight spaces or crowded tissues.
In a new study published today in the journal Science, researchers reveal that squeezing a cell to the point where its nucleus starts to stretch triggers the activation of motor proteins which in turn transform the cell’s cytoskeleton so that it can flee a packed environment.
Each cell has a nucleus, and each nucleus has a membrane that separate…
